Hi,
you surely found it on the web already, but if not:
Two years ago I build an own scanning rig and scanned 50000+ pages of
XXDP listings.
The problem of enhancing very bad fiches is also addressed with an
expensive "Filter Chain".

Hi All
I have just had a huge DEC Miro Fiche library given to me.
It has the portable (weighs a ton) reader with it.
On trying it out. I found the results were awful.
A good clean of the light path and removal of some disintegrating foam
improved things no end.
That left two issues:
1. The reader was for x 42 but the fiches are x52.
2. The plastic fiche holder consisting of two sheets of stiff
and clear plastic connected together at one end is scratched to hell.
I'd like to work to-wards scanning all of the library into a system.
Anybody know anything about fiche scanners.
